Hello officer, please I need your help. I have been stolen. Help me.

Hey, relax. You need to calm down. Okay, tell me what happened.

I was walking down the street and a man pointed a gun at me and took away all my things. He took my cell phone, my bag, my computer because I had a laptop in my back. He also took my wallet. I had like $10,000 there or more. It happened some minutes ago. If we hurry, I'm sure we can get him.

Okay, you just go home okay. Everything will be fine. Don't worry, go home.

No, I think you don't understand. I was robbed. We need to catch the thief. Please, he took all my money and my things.

You are not going to tell me how to do my job, sir. Just go home and I will look for your things.

But you don't even know my name. How could you know who I am?

All right, give me your name and your address. Please hurry up.

My name is Jordan Columbus and my address is 123 Sams Street.

Okay, I got it. Now go home and we will contact you. Okay, see you later.

But wouldn't the right thing be to go to the police station to make the corresponding complaint?

No, that's not necessary. Or well, you can do it if you want. The police station is over there. Just walk for four or five blocks and then turn left. You will see the police station next to the bank.

Yeah, but can't you take me there? I am old, you know. I can't walk much.

What? You say you can't walk but you were walking when you were robbed. I'm starting to think that you are probably lying, sir. Do you know that this is a serious crime?

I am not lying. It's true. I was robbed. Help me. And I was walking because I went to the bank which is in front of us. There, I want to withdraw the money from my retirement pension, $10,000, and then I was walking to my house. I live in front of the park. I just need to cross the park, sir.

$10,000? That's not possible. You're lying. Nobody walks around with $10,000 in their hand nowadays. That doesn't make sense. I'm starting to believe that you are faking a robbery so they can give you $10,000.

What? No, of course not. I would never do something like that. Here, I have the withdrawal receipt if you want to see it. I swear I'm not lying.

I don't know. It's difficult to believe. And why did you go alone? Have you not listened to the government's recommendations for older people? Elderly people are advised not to withdraw money alone. You have to go with a person. I don't know, your sons or daughters or maybe one of your grandchildren.

I don't have any grandchildren, sir. I never had sons or daughters. I got married but we never had children. My wife never could. Anyway, I don't have any sons or daughters to go with me and my wife died some years ago.

All right, but what about a friend or maybe a relative?

Many of my friends also passed away. I am alone. I live with my pet Bobby. I don't have anyone to go with me, sir. That's why I had to go alone. But I really need that money to eat, to pay for my rent and other things.
